“Haha, don’t get upset. Why would I be here if not for Min Jung? I came to support Director Yun’s work, too.”
Having bonded in Milan, Min Jung and Jung Hwa grew close during their few days together. Well, Min Jung tried to ensure that, and for Jung Hwa, at least at this moment, it was genuine.
In Ha, who had been quietly standing beside Jung Hwa, noticed So Yeon’s unusually pale face.
That’s when it happened.
As So Yeon unknowingly stepped backward, a car speeding towards the hotel made a sudden stop.
Screeeeeech!
On the asphalt marked with skid marks, So Yeon lay collapsed.
It was an incident from over a year ago.
So Yeon, having fainted after hitting her head during a movie set accident, was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance.
Fortunately, swift emergency treatment prevented brain damage, but her rare blood type and severe blood loss made finding blood more urgent than surgery. If luck hadn’t been on her side, So Yeon might have lost everything that day.
Having endured such a significant accident, the extent of So Yeon’s trauma from it must have been profound. Yet, she believed she had overcome it, at least until she directly confronted Yu Jung Hwa today.
About a month after surviving the dangerous ordeal and being hospitalized, while her physical wounds healed, the psychological terror of the accident lingered. During this time, Yu Jung Hwa visited her in the hospital.
“You were the thorn in my eye, and now this accident happened. You could have easily died, you’re quite lucky. But do you think your luck will last forever?” Jung Hwa had whispered menacingly.
These words haunted So Yeon.
“We are in the same industry, so we might bump into each other, but I hope you don’t irritate or cross me again,” Jung Hwa warned.
Since their first encounter at the Elstella Hotel bar, Jung Hwa had known who Eom So Yeon was, and it was then that So Yeon realized the mysterious woman with Tae Seo Jun was Yu Jung Hwa.
“Avoid me if you don’t want to suffer again.”
Jung Hwa’s final chilling words were hard to believe, representing a heinous truth and a brutal crime. However, the incident was quietly closed as a regrettable accident, despite the suspicions.
A year after the incident, when So Yeon faced Yu Jung Hwa again, the nightmarish memories of the terrible accident resurfaced.
“If you don’t want to suffer again…”
“Suffer again…”
“Don’t want to…”
Jung Hwa’s voice from the hospital room echoed in her head. In that moment, as darkness enveloped her vision, So Yeon stumbled backward, her previously injured head throbbing painfully, and she lost consciousness.
So Yeon was lying in a hospital bed in the hotel infirmary.
The doctor, hastily called by the hotel manager, prescribed only a fever reducer without a thorough examination, assuring that the fever would soon subside.
However, even after an hour, the fever did not decrease. The oral medication seemed ineffective against her high fever, which was fluctuating around 40 degrees. So Yeon lay there motionless, as if dead, having lost consciousness.
“I… need to leave for a moment. Please take care of So Yeon for me,” Do Sun said, leaving So Yeon in the infirmary and hastily exiting.
Jo In Ha sat closely beside the bed, as if he were her guardian.
“See… I’m the only one here for you…”
He kept muttering to himself, rewetting the dry cloth and placing it on So Yeon’s forehead.
“Even your friend left you. She’s tired of your sickness. So accept it. Eom So Yeon only has me.”
Though no conscious person was there to respond, In Ha felt emboldened to express his long-suppressed feelings. He began to slowly trace So Yeon’s lips with his fingertips, desiring more.
Perhaps sensing his sinister intentions even in her unconscious state, So Yeon’s lips twitched faintly, but there was no further movement.
In Ha’s hand lingered, yearning for more.
It wasn’t long before someone entered the infirmary, unnoticed by In Ha, who was too engrossed in touching So Yeon’s lips.
“Get your hands off her.”
“……!”
In a low voice that seemed to hide ferocious teeth, In Ha turned around. It was then he faced a gaze so piercing and powerful, something he had never experienced before, pushing him back slightly.
“You’re what they call a stalker.”
“What?”
“Crazy…”
Seo Jun, having assessed So Yeon’s condition, decisively scooped her up in his strong arms.
“What are you doing!”
“…”
Seo Jun, with lips firmly sealed, not deeming the words worthy of a response, tried to leave the infirmary quietly. However, In Ha blocked the door with his body.
“What are you doing right now!”
“Just watching a person with a high fever nearly dying. What about you?”
“The doctor who visited said she’d be fine soon!”
“She’s in danger if we don’t act now. Move!”
“What nonsense… ugh!”
“Shut up with your nonsense!”
Seo Jun, who actually had a medical license, quickly dealt with the obstruction by a simple knee strike and left the place.
“Ah…”
Unable to utter a sound, In Ha just gaped.
But he clearly felt it.
Even Tae Seo Jun, the epitome of composure and calmness, was different in front of Eom So Yeon.
Was this guy for real?
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
